Ya, pick the guy who was in the Hitler Youth and worked a AAA battery for the Germans during WW2. Thats going to be great for the image problems we're having.

I'm kidding. I'm sure he's very cuddly and lovable up close.

He's not supposed to be the big, sweeping, charasmatic guy JP2 was. He's an acedemic who is going to focus a lot more on doctrine for his 4 or 5 years and then we get either a Latin or African Pope. Just a compromise with the conservatives.

Not that I'm looking forward to Benedict XVI kicking it or anything.
